These are some of my favorite quotes, some inspirational, some just about life, and others a little funny.

“Some are destined to succeed, some are determined to succeed.” -Tejomayananda

“You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.” -Einstein

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” -Emerson

“We are always getting ready to live, but never living” - Emerson

“We must be our own before we can be another's.” -Emerson

“To be great is to be misunderstood.” -Emerson

“Solitude is impractical and yet society is fatal.” -Emerson

“Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.” -Emerson

“Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.” -Emerson

“Everything's fine today, that is our illusion.” -Voltaire

“Work is the refuge of people who have nothing better to do.” —Oscar Wilde

“Work is the source of nearly all the misery in the world. Almost any evil you'd care to name comes from working or from living in a world designed for work. In order to stop suffering, we have to stop working.” - Bob Black

"We don't have a lot of time on this earth! We weren't meant to spend it this way. Human beings were not meant to sit in little cubicles staring at computer screens all day, filling out useless forms and listening to eight different bosses drone on about about mission statements."
—Office Space, 1999

"I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables—slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war . . . our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off."
—Fight Club, 1999

"The more side roads you stop to explore, the less likely that life will pass you by."-- Robert Brault

"I would let myself starve to death if you wanted me to kiss you for the rest of my life." -The Sweetest Guy in the Universe, Michael Braswell

"If at first you don't succeed; call it version 1.0" -T-shirt ---

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." -Mahatma Ghandi ---

"If you don't know where you are going, you'll end up some place new." -Yogi Berra ---

"Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but religiously follows the new." -Henry Davod Thoreau ---

"A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort." -Herm Albright ---

"Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -Plato ---

When you feel in your gut what you are and then dynamically pursue it - don't back down and don't give up - then you're going to mystify a lot of folks. Bob Dylan

I don't know the key to success but I know the key to failure is trying to please everybody. Bill Cosby

What's money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do. Bob Dylan

Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship. Yoda, Star Wars

[Luke:] I can’t believe it. [Yoda:] That is why you fail. Star Wars

The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force. Darth Vader, Star Wars

Behold I do not give lectures or a little charity. When I give I give myself. Walt Whitman

You should not be carried away by the dictation of the mind, but the mind should be carried by your dictation. A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

When I was young, I used to admire intelligent people; as I grow older, I admire kind people. Abraham Joshua Heschel

Everyone is struggling to gain something which he does not possess, and he’s lamenting for something which he has lost. But when he realizes himself that “I have nothing to gain and nothing to lose; I have nothing to do with this material world,” that is called brahma-bhutah. That is Brahman realization.
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”  - John Lennon

"Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you anywhere."  - Albert Einstein

"The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves."  – Carl Jung
